A FEMALE wallaby living wild has been captured and is spending a calming Christmas with her own kind at Tropiquaria Zoo, Washford Cross.

A team from the zoo was called in to help on Sunday morning after local people near Combe Florey managed to contain the wallaby in an enclosed paddock.

“She had been seen, with others, in the area for several months and there were concerns for its safety,” said Chris Moiser, director of Tropiquaria, who was asked to help deal with her, together with co director Jane Bassett.
